All events must be judges under the appropriate Kennel Club regulations H & H (1) in force at the time of the event. Competitors entering any competition will be deemed to have agreed to abide by these regulations.

All heats must take place at Kennel Club licensed shows and the class name in the schedule should replicate exactly the name of the competition as stated in these regulations.

All Kennel Club supported competitions should be judged using standard marking.

If the entry for the heat exceeds the Kennel Club limit for a judge in a day, then the class will be equally split and another judge appointed for the second part. Qualifiers and points from that heat will be taken in equal proportion from each part.

Dogs entered in any heats must be eligible for the competition entered. Judges have the right to check the dog’s Kennel Club Agility Record Book to ensure the dog is running in the correct height category.

All results from these heats must be sent to the Crufts Office at the Kennel Club within 14 days of show date.

Crufts Team Agility Competition

This is an Agility competition and must include at least two items of contact equipment. 

This is a team relay event and a suitable baton should be used which must remain behind the start line at all times.  When the dog/handler returns to the start/finish, there will be a baton change between the handlers.  No part of the next dog/handler must be over the start line at the change over; failure to observe this will incur a penalty of twenty faults. 

These competitions will be scheduled as a combined class for grades 1 to 7 for all height categories. There will be a separate qualifying competition for each height category.

There will be up to 8 separate heats for each height category, (small, medium, large) held at Kennel Club licensed shows, throughout the country.

The Show Secretary should record the top five placed teams and send the results to the Crufts Office at the Kennel Club within 14 days of the show. These results should include the name of the team, handlers, dogs and reserves.

Each team will consist of 4 dogs, with 4 handlers from the same height category.

The winners of each heat will be invited to CRUFTS 2009 to compete in the Small, Medium and Large Finals. In the event that the winning team or club in a heat has already qualified for the final then the highest placed unqualified team in that heat will be invited to the final at CRUFTS.  Only dogs entered as a reserve at the qualifying event will be permitted to compete in the final should a change of dog be necessary.

This event is open to Kennel Club Registered Clubs with an interest in agility, all team members must be members of the club at the time of qualifying for the CRUFTS Teams Final.

Clubs may only qualify 1 (one) team in each height category for the final at CRUFTS 2009.
